Other people have been boasting that their asparagus is sprouting and I was getting a little green-eyed. Today I noticed it here – two sizable spears, which will be the first harvests from my asparagus bed. I think they are old enough to handle a light harvest this year.

Yvonne, I planted these adparagus from seed in early 2011, so as early as 18 months if you are lucky, but normally 2-3 years. If you want a faster yield you are better off planting crowns, which are available by mail order or nurseries.
